The warm family relationships that abound in this production makes the movie an appealing one.
Taking place after the civil war, it chronicles the life of a widow with 3 children who are poverty stricken. The eldest daughter, a writer with a great imagination, concocts a story that ultimately draws their wealthy grandmother to their New Hampshire home.
Jackie Bisset plays the stern grandmother. She is entirely too young for the part. Nevertheless, she gives a gem of a performance as a wealthy matron who married a much older widower than she and had a daughter with him to secure herself financially.
The daughter ran away years before with a stable boy who has now died. Both mother and daughter must confront past events in front of the children.
The story is filled with scarlet fever epidemics abounding.
The film also deals with a getting kind grandmother who will go to any length to get her children and grandchildren out of the poverty cycle.
It is a nicely done film with a triumph of the family spirit in this season of giving.
